Our government is giving $2.8 billon in bombs to Israel.
How about giving that money to the American people so they can afford food and gas?
I'm tired of this Israel first policy. It's time to put Americans first. https://t.co/FLySl7t0b3

Stop us if you’ve heard this before: Sydney Sweeney is drawing criticism for showing off her curves in an ad.
But is the backlash to her football-boobs really about standing up for female athletes, as critics now claim? Or is there something deeper going on?

The 80s and 90s were an age of innocence, says @micsolana — the last era every generation points to as the best in American history. Then 9/11 happened, the whole world entered our psychology, and we never stopped thinking about it again. That’s why millennials “can’t let it go.”
